2. Heartwood partnered with Erie Family Health Center, which delivers high quality care to nearly 70,000 medical patients and 12,000 dental patients in the language of their choice and with respect for their cultural values and beliefs. Nearly all of our providers are bilingual in English and Spanish. Our community-based health centers are portals to high-quality care—and a higher quality of life—regardless of a patient’s ability to pay. Erie Family Health refers their patients to the Heartwood Center for low cost to no cost holistic healthcare.

3. Two years ago, Heartwood launched a Kickstarter campaign raising $50,000 in a few weeks to bring Curt’s Cafe South across the street from the center. The cafe is an opportunity to “dine with purpose”, by enjoying great food and helping the community at the same time. Curt’s South is quickly becoming the neighborhood gathering place, serving good food and doing good things for Evanston’s at-risk young women.
